CGTN correspondent Barış Liu stated that today China commemorates the 94th anniversary of the September 18 Incident, which broke out in 1931 in the northeast of the country.

Liu emphasized that the September 18 Incident is regarded as the beginning of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World War Against Fascism, and added: “At the commemorative events, General Yang Jingyu, who fought alone against the invaders under harsh winter conditions, female commander Zhao Yiman, who became a martyr without surrendering despite brutal torture, and five soldiers who threw themselves into a ravine at Wolf Fang Mountain were solemnly honored. The sacrifices and courage of these heroes left an indelible mark in the history of the Chinese nation.”

Barış Liu highlighted that the struggle remains etched in memory, and continued:

“Although the smoke of war has cleared, that relentless fight to the death still lives in memory. The Chinese people continue with determination to strive forward without forgetting history. Justice always prevails! Peace always prevails! The people always prevail!”
